Latest Project

Two years ago friends of ours from church gave us their old patio furniture. I've been wanting to use it, so I decided to spruce it up a little before summer weather gets here.

Here is what the old chair pads looked like:


I recovered them with some red and white material:



Here is what the chairs looked like originally:
I had to prime them first....

and then....Red!

Here is the finished project:

Now that they look much better, maybe we'll use these chairs while enjoying the sunshine from our back porch :)

What?...were you expecting a picture of Chloe? ;) Here's one for you who made it to the end of this post. It was taken on Easter by my talented cousin Erin.

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
